Checked On Registry Database - USERINIT.EXE
Oct 21, 2007
Back about three weeks ago, in an effort to speed up my start-up on my computer, I ran Cleaner. It identified all the start up things. I went through one by one and disabled those that I had checked on a registry database. Unfortunately one of the first I disable was USERINIT.EXE.Now, as some of you may know, I can't login to my computer! I can power on, and try to log in, the windows attempts to load my preferences, and then logs out. Over the past several weeks, I have tried in vain to get some helpful suggestions on how to remedy the situation, but obviously my range of knowledge in dealing with this type of problem isn't strong enough to figure it all out. It was suggested by a friend that I just do a ffr, but quite frankly, I see that as a last ditch effort. I have files on the computer, that I really don't want to lose. And it seems that as I know what the problem is....there must be someway to fix it without going to the extreme. As my computer is 3-4 yrs old, my windows CD was only for SP1, and I don't think that would help....although I don't really know.

I'm working through an ASP.NET tutorial in which the datasource is to be an Access .mdb (the famous Northwind db, to be precise). I'm instructed to configure the permissions the folder in which the northwind.mdb file is supposed to reside. The tutorial instructs me to browse to that folder, and right-click it and select "properties" and select the "security" tab-- but i don't have a Security tab. My user account is an administrator account, but just to test it, i logged is a "Administrator", but there was no change. Why do my folder properties not show a Security tab, and how do i change it so they do?

For the last couple of months now, I've noticed that my system, which has operated flawlessly for almost 2 years, started doing strange things: SystemSuite 6 Pro - Uninstall goes thru the process of creating the uninstall database, resolves the links, then abruptly closes SS6. Ad-aware SE - used to run thru the first 45,000 files rapidly, and never spent any appreciable time with the file counter not moving.Now it gets to only 12-1500 files and the HD starts chruning and won't stop; have to kill the program with task manager.Word or Outlook Express - frequent intervals where I'm typing, but letters don't appear on screen until after a 10-15 sec. interlude like something is running and taking the full resources of the CPU.

I would like to make a dynamic inventory of all of the programs installed on a number of computers...Basically I want to be able to open up a database,
click on the computername, and it will tell me what programs are installed on that computer...maybe the database could be updated every night or something...This will save me a lot of bookkeeping and also help me to know which systems have old versions of applications, make it easier for licence
expiration and new license keys

Access 97 and Access 2003 installed on his machine. If a scheduled task is set to open an access database at a certain time, it will do so using whatever version of access was last opened. Is there a way to force it to always use one or the other?

Each of my records has a person from a school. Each school from 1 to 9 people, thus from 1 to 9 records. I can sort by school name and manually check all the people from one school but I would like to automate the selection.I want to know how to create my master form so that I list each person from one school on one page, then automate the switch to a new list on a new page each time the school name changes.

I ran a spyware program and now the computer logs off as soon as I log on.I cannot remote into it because my network won't find it. I've booted into the recovery console to the command prompt and followed everyone's instructions except that I don't have userinit.exe or wsaupdater.exe??? What gives? Can I just rebuild the boot? MBR? Is thre a way to edit the registry from the dos prompt.

I accidently deleted the userinit.exe file, creating the log on/log off problem. I have gone into the recovery console, navigated to C:/WINDOWS/system32, but when i tried "copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe" it says the system cannot find the file specified. Help ?

Very confident about your capacity to assist here.Windows won't start up on my badly-infected WinXP PIV. It gets past the logging on to windows prompt and then this error message comes up userinit.exe application error (0xc0000005) and Windows then fails to load completely. This also occurs in safe mode and I haven't been able to bypass Windows and boot directly to DOS by using the F8 key on startup.

i found out my computers userinit.exe has been changed and it is causing my computer to ask for a password when i never set one to begin with and it keeps logging on and off....along with other things. This recently happened with a virus and i dont have the XP cd. Is there a way i can rewrite the registry to userinit.exe thru bios? or any other program? I have a program called <reference removed> but have no idea how to use it.

After I log into my computer at my windows login screen, it instantly kicks me back to the login screen. After reading several posts online I have come to believe that my userinit.exe file has been deleted or that virus has somehow altered it. I want to reinstall a copy of the file from a windows xp media boot CD, however I only have a friends recovery disk and it is for his brand of computer so it doesnt recognize it when i boot my system. I dont have a floppy drive, is there any other way to get a dos prompt at start-up so I can manually extract userinit.exe to system32? Should I slave the drive on a different computer and copy and paste it?
Windows XP Media Center Edition (SP2)

I would appreciate any useful information. Making sly remarks is childish.I to have received the message: "USERINIT.exe Application failed to initialize" after removing software that was previously install and may have been causing the computer to not get a TCP/IP number. Now I can not get to the desktop, It hangs.
I agree sometimes reloading a cleaned of hard drive may be the only way to resolve a problem. However, first see if there are any quick fixes that may save some time.
If all you can say is start over again from scratch then you are wasting your time and everyone else's that reads for some answers.

This is a past post that someone else posted but I'm having the same problem and I did not understand the solution. Here is what he put:"Windows won't start up on my badly-infected WinXP PIV. It gets past the logging on to windows prompt and then this error message comes up userinit.exe application error (0xc0000005) and Windows then fails to load completely. This also occurs in safe mode and I haven't been able to bypass Windows and boot directly to DOS by using the F8 key on startup."
This is exactl my issue except I haven't tried to go to Dos mode b/c I didn't know how.This was his reply..."See if this helps:Restore WinlogonUserinit

I am fed up with the logon/logoff loop. Is there any way to get past it, just once, because i have a regtool that fixes the registry chop-chop! All I need is to get into Windows once or twice. I have tried The boot to recovery console, then "copy userinit.exe wsupdater.exe" and still it did not work.

I need help. My computer will not boot up properly. I keep getting the same error message "userinit.exe" failed to initialise. I tried a systems recovery but this also failed. (I received the message pciide.sys not found). Sometimes through task manager I can enable desktop but most times nothing happens just a blue screen. My operating system is XP SP2.

Running winXP.I recently accidentally deleted Userinit.exe due to a false positive. Desktop would not load up but could still run programs.read somewhere that userinit.exe ran explorer.exe so tried running that from run.would start to work, brought desktop n everything up, but would freeze.on a whim i opened the control panel from run to see if there was anything i could do from there.When i ran control, it started my desktop and everything worked just fine.
Since then, i can start everything normally from running control when i start up. but i imagine it would still be healthier for my computer in general to have userinit working properly. however, here is where my computer knoledge fades. from reading other similar probs, it would seem that userinit has different parts? reg keys ect. only part of the whole working userinit configuration or whatever seems to have been deleted, since reading others who have had it fail completely dont appear to be able to do anything with their comps. so wondering how i can go about finding out which part i need to replace/fix. looked in i386, and there is a userinit, but when i go to copy it over to sys32, says overwrite? i didnt, since i would assume that means that part is fine. any ideas on what i need to replace?

Every time I try to install SP2 either from microsoft's web site or from a copy of the actual file, i get an error message that reads "cannot read or write to the database" and the install stops. It will go through everything except installing the program (i.e. check my key, check the system, backup files etc). What would cause this and how might I fix it? I'm running XP Pro.

I recently started going to a few classes at my local Community Colege and a class on computer literacy is giving away copies of Windows XP Pro. All interested students sign a EULA and we were given a copy on cd with key code.Most of the other students used it to upgrade from prior os. I was told it is a full copy, so I allowed a clean install with it formating my hard drive to NTFS from the old fat32.Anyway, everytime I use Internet Explorer it gives error code " duplicate memory at line 945.
Abort, retry, Ignore?" No mater what I hit it eithr repeats or says " Windows Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and will now close" and gives option to send error report.So, I tried installing Service Pack 2 from a cd that I had ordered from Microsoft. I got the following error "Service Pack 2 cannot update a checked(debug) system with a a free(retail) version of service pack2 or vice versa"Is there anything I could do to straighten this out? What is a checked(debug) system anyway?I did download a debug version of service pack 2 but Internet explorer still gives errors. Auto Update will download updates, but they all FAIL. Anything I can do? I would like to know what debug system is and if it is even worth having.

I'm working on a Pav zt1130. Upon boot the message "A disk read error occured Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I've checked the BIOS and it does appear to be seeing the HD. I've changed the boot order and attempted to boot from WinXP Home CD. It displays the "Setup is checking your configuration" message, then nada. The user said that it was running fine yesterday, but she booted this a.m. and received this message. She had a non-bootable floppy and a non-bootable CD in, but I've not seen that to cause this problem. Just a coincidence? HD failure the real culprit?

Need Suggestions on Which Applications Can be Un-Checked (as listed by: MsConfig.exe application) for Windows - XP Pro
I installed Windows XP Professional on my unit and then ran the MsConfig.exe file, to check which processes / applications got loaded at Start-Up. The list is too big and quite difficult to figure out as to which items are good and which are useless.
I have created a WordPad file, wherein image files of Screens have been pasted. The two files are
MSConfig (Start-up items), Win 98 Pro, File 1.rtf 5,689,450
MSConfig (Start-up items), Win 98 Pro, File 2.rtf 4,734,281 ....

If you have too many things checked on the startup menu when you run msconfig it will slow your computer down.While I can figure some of those things out, there are a lot of them I have no idea what they run. How can I find out what is neccessary or not?
